Distributed Test Manager (DTM)

The Distributed Test Manager (DTM) is a Windows™ application which enables many different types of system level testing by simulating multiple devices in a system. DTM is a system level simulator that is unique compared to other Triangle MicroWorks tools which test the communications of a single device. DTM is a highly extensible tool with multiple options for configuring devices, creating test cases, and simulating data in the system.

Overview

DTM can simulate the communication protocols and data models for just a single device or up to hundreds of devices on a single computer or spread across a network of computers. The behavior of each simulated device can be modeled with built-in scripting capability. Testing scenarios can be managed through a single application which can be run anywhere on the network.

As shown in the figure above, DTM has a central user interface for configuring simulated devices and coordinating testing across multiple hosts. Distributed hosts simulate devices on different computers across the network.
